Both the Panthers and Seahawks are heavy favorites to return to the playoffs in 2016. Might there week 13 match-up determine the NFC's top seed.
Here's a summary of the Seahawks offseason from a SBN Seahawks blogger.
At first blush it appears the Seahawks have lost a lot more talent then they gained. On the bright side they might have gotten a little younger. When I look at the players added it doesn't appear any of them replace a lost player. Maybe Clemons for Mebane though I think they are different types of DTs.
